I have the 8200 gvw truck.. I know this has ben discussed, but not sure if it has been looked into.... I want a lift, all the kits say excluding my truck.. Well Rancho is only about 8 miles from my house. I called and they said the ONLY reason that it's excluded is because they have never tried to install one on a 7 lug truck due to the dealer usually not having one available for trst fitting... So being the good person I am I offered mine.. He said he would love to try it but in Monroe Michigan they only do shocks............


Now for the question... Does anyone know of a reason the 4 inch kit WOULDN'T fit??? I would buy it if I could find someone that would try to install it..

 

No input from anyone?

 

Bump.

 

Nobody knows anybody that would know the answer, or that may have tried it? Hard to believe nobody has tried to do this yet.

 

I would think it would fit. Only real difference is the 8200 gvw trucks got the bigger rear axle housing w/7 lug axles and 7 lug front hubs. Why don't you throw a leveling kit on the front and get some 33's on the stock wheels and call it a day. The money it will cost you to be the ginea pig is a lot of coin, especially if it don't fit.

 

the older trucks had thicker gauge frame, heavier suspension, SD brakes, 4R100 trans, etc. Not 100% what all is on the HD F150 package on the 04-08

 

I already have a level kit and 35 mud terrains. Just wanted it lifted a few more inches..

 

well its your money, I just would not want to drop that kind of coin w/o being totally sure it was going to fit.

 

I totally understand, but if someone never tries it, we'll never know.. I have a bunch of good ol boys willing to try it. If it don't work it will be for sale on ebay...

 

if it dont work i might be interested in the kit i got a three inch leveling kit on my 06 screw and would like some more

 

You could always do a 3" body lift on your truck to gain a few more inches

 

I will keep this in mind..

 

Some more info I have collected as to why the lift SHOULD work.. The spindles (steering knuckles) are the same on my truck as the regular F150... The hubs are different but you don't get hubs with the kit... The back axle as most of us know is bigger on the 8200. Thinking bigger u-bolts will fix that... Starting to think this will really work..
